Things like this make me wish I could have a conversation with a Chimpanzee. I wonder what they think?


Above is the body of Dorthy, a Chimpanzee who died suddenly of natural causes. Behind is a gathering of her troop members. Are they exhibiting a natural curiosity, and nothing more. They have no religious concepts, so the idea of burial is foreign to them. Are they wondering what the cover is for? Are they wondering at the "human concern" for burial and making comfortable a dead Chimpanzee, while transporting her in something normally used for waste/garbage?
